Fancy Black Dress Goods.
Stufs that are newer to YOU
than Cashmeres or Henriettas;
stuffs that vary with the years
new weaves, new loom tricks
to produce novel effects. The
makers wit is all the time
turned to getting up new
styles. Twice as many de-
signs, perhaps, as we ever had
before. Patterns for young
and gay patterns for quiet
matrons. Whether for giddy
or sedate, a richness that
charms.
The drift of Fancy Black is
away from the roughness of
last season. Smooth-face eff
fects-brocaded figures (polka
dots, flower and leaf shapes,
curly-cues), MORE bars, neat
little ribbed checks, herring
bone stripes and dozens and
dozens of cute arlnure designs.

THE ACADEMY and Normal School
at Newark now has seventy-five day
students in attendance, the largest
number in the history of the school.
The graduating class of 1888 num-
bers nine members, four ladies and
five gentlemen. The strongest
evidence of the good work this school
is doing is its popularity at home
where it is best known.

Nomal Schools when the Normal
School at Newark gives the same
course of study and at lower rates?

THE striking printers in New
York and elsewhere have as yet
reaped a poor harvest. Perhaps it
is wise men in all branches of labor
to band themselves together for
mutual benefit and protection, but
when these men seek to set certain
prices for labor performed, then they
overstep the bounds of prudence.
Labor and capital will ever continue
to be at war with each other so long
as such a state of affairs exist, and
while we have the greatest admira-
ton for skilled workmen, yet we
would frown down all strikes. be-
cause they are more injurious than
beneficial. Two distinct classes re-
present labor unions-the married
man and the single man. The for
mer cannot withstand for any lengthy
period forced idleness while the lat
ter is invariably in a position that
allows him the created freedom. He
has but one mouth to furnish food
for, while the family man has sa-
cred trust devolving upon his ener-
gies. So, we say, if labor unions
are truly essential to the welfare Of
the skilled mechanic, then let there
be separate organizations-for the
married and the unmarried men.

arranged to nike line of print they are
automatically removed to a metal pot,

A Rabbits Fondness for Beer.

Michael Fry, at 437 Fifth avenue, is a
great rabbit breeder, and has probably not
less than fifty rabbits. Some of them he
allows to run through his Kitchen and cellar,
and Fry was astonished TO find the other
day that one of the ''bonnieso had great
for lager beer. One of the beer
barrels in the cellar leaked and the little
"bonnieu was observed to be standing on its
hind legs and sucking the beverage from the
barrel. Since then Mr.. Fry and his children
have humored the animal and given IL beer
often 1t can now drink about ten or fifteen
saucers of beer day, and has never shown
any signs Of being drunk, nor does the beer
seem to affect the rabbit in any other way
A rabbit has hitherto never been known 20

is the only one, as Mr. Fry's other rabbits
